Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis dissertation is a meditation on the paradoxical foundation of the novel, which can be defined according to the classical theories of Rene Girard and Mikhail Bakhtin. The former, by assigning the novelist the task of revealing the "novelistic truth", insists on the critical function of the novel, and on the decisiveness of the change brought about by Cervantes; Bakhtin, by placing the character rather than the author at the heart of his reflexion, and by making dialogical "openness" to this character a positive value, subtly defends the necessity of the "romantic lie".
Girard and Bakhtin are both right, as the examples of the three novelists whose "poetics" are analyzed here in light of this paradox illustrate. Paul Valery, though not a novelist in the usual sense, is the creator of Mr Teste, a strange character who lives in perfect conformity with the requirements of the "novelistic truth", but whose life is inconceivable, which makes him a comic figure. Flaubert, enclosing himself in a kind of quiet lucidity, keeps his characters at a distance but still shows a sort of subtle sympathy for them. Finally Balzac, whose posture at first seems more romantic, is no less quiet and distant than Flaubert, albeit in a more discreet way.
These reading exercises, together with theoretical considerations inspired by Bergson's definition of the comic and Kundera's metaphoric definition of the novelist's work as the exploration of being, lead to the idea that the novel is subjected to contradictory requirements between which it does not propose a synthesis, except that of humour -- which is not truly one.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleENGLISH ABSTRACT: In fulfilment of the degree of Magister in Creative Writing: Afrikaans, a novel titled Sirkus (Circus) is presented in which the main character figures as an idiot. It is accompanied by a perspicacious formal essay which maintains the relationship between theory and novel. The essay titled "Die idioot: spieël en skadu" (The idiot: mirror and shadow) reflects on the problematics concerning the representation of the idiot in literary texts. The essay investigates the phenomenon of the idiot in literature according to well-known literary texts presenting idiots. What these texts have in common is that the narrator acts on behalf of a character who does not have the ability nor the will to narrate himself. The problematics is viewed from a thematic as well as writing technique niveaux, according to insights gleaned from literature, philosophy, narratology and psychology. The argument concludes by reflecting on the responsibility of the author and the ethics of creating an effigy of the idiot. The novel Sirkus, (Circus), focuses on an idiot character with webbed hands and feet, Siegfried Landman. It is an exposition of his journey to hell starting on a farm in the Karoo. It takes him through a grotesque urban landscape where he eventually ends up in a circus of freaks. The text starts with the death of Siegfried's father and is in the form of a quest narrative, a quest for the vague image of his uncle Fischer. The tale emanates predominantly from Siegfried's consciousness. During the course of the text he is accompanied by varioius travelling companions who each fmd a voice in the text.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING Ter vervulling van die graad van Magister in Kreatiewe Afrikaanse skryfkunde is 'n roman getiteld Sirkus voorgelê waarin die hoofkarakter 'n idiotefiguur is. Dit word vergesel met 'n verbandhoudende beskoulike werkstuk: "Die idioot: spieël en skadu", wat die vorm aanneem van 'n essay oar die problematiek rondom die representasie van die idioot in literêre tekste. In die werkstuk word die verskynsel van die idioot in die letterkunde ondersoek aan die hand van bekende literêre tekste waarin idiotefigure gerepresenteer word. Hierdie tekste het dit gemeen dat die verteller optree namens 'n karakter wat nie die vermoë óf die wil het om self te vertel nie. Die problematiek word beskou op tematiese sowel as skryftegniese vlakke aan die hand van insigte uit die letterkunde, filosofie, narratologie en sielkunde. Die argument sluit uiteindelik af met 'n besinning oor die skrywerlike verantwoordelikheid en 'n skrywerlike etiek ten opsigte van die uitbeelding van die idioot. Die roman Sirkus fokus op 'n idiote-karakter met gewebde hande en voete, Siegfried Landman. Dit is 'n uitbeelding van sy hellevaart wat begin op 'n plaas in die Karoo en hom voer deur 'n groteske stadslandskap voor hy uiteindelik opeindig in 'n sirkus van fratse. Die teks begin met die dood van Siegfried se vader en is in die vorm van 'n soektognarratief, 'n soektog na die vae beeld van sy oom Fischer. Die verhaal word grotendeels vanuit Siegfried se bewussyn vertel. Hy word deur die verloop van die teks vergesel deur verskeie reisgenote wat elk ook 'n eie stem in die teks verkry.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn the spinning wheel, in the loom, in the interlacing of threads for the construction of a text (like telling a lullaby to the children) rests, almost always, the hands of the women; Extrapolating the literal understanding of sewing, darning, weaving, spinning, the literary text often presents them metaphorically, as a feminine artifice to overcome or subvert the prevailing patriarchal order, a backbone issue on a theoretical basis undertaken in this research. As a theoretical corpus, the foundation for this work in História das Mulheres do Brasil, Histórias íntimas, Casa Grande & Senzala, Um Teto todo Seu, O Segundo Sexo, and others. The fictional texts analyzed here, O Continente (1949), Os Sinos da Agonia (1974) and O voo da Guará Vermelha, (Objetiva, 2005), present three different profiles of women corresponding, in one way or another, to a Archetype - definition by Carl Jung (1976) - of the weaver woman, each emanating different desires. Following the heart is Ana Terra, within text of Erico Verissimo (1905-1975), As well as the women in their line of succession, Bibiana and Maria Valéria; Taken by her instincts of femme fatale comes Malvina, by Autran Dourado (1926-2012); Facing the social impositions, an argument deeply rooted in the female figure - emerges the seropositive prostitute Irene, a character written by Maria Valéria Rezende (1942). It is analyzed a construction of female people who, molded within an achetypal plane, corresponds the figure of the weaver woman and, thus, they manage to be "owners of their destinies", even under a patriarchal order, through their actions, your desires, your influences. Searches related to the main Brazilian literary histories, such as one organized by Afrânio Coutinho, Alfredo Bosi, Carlos Nejar and others, foundations for the explanation about the critical resourses of the works, besides the literary articles printed and online. In addition, an exclusive interview made on the telephone, which the writer Maria Valéria Rezende gave directly to the author. The work has theoretical, bibliographical and literary fundamentals: it begins with a patriarchy's theory, followed with a critical resourses of the works, crosses the archetypes of the collective unconscious and Greek mythology, in order to arrive at the literature works, where some relations of meaning which fostered as discussions about the theme. The analysis reveals the contours given to weaver characters, contextualizing them, thematically and historically, inside the patriarchal universe to which they are submitted. It shows how such women have created subterfuges to place themselves in this universe governed by man, and even, as they do to control it.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the portrayal of characters in four Xhosa novels of the 1990s. The objective is to found out whether or not characterization in the Xhosa novels of the 1990s improves. This is done with the view that past studies of characterization done before 1990 by Jafta (1978; 1996), Satyo (1978), Sirayi (1989) and Dlali (1992) gave the picture that a high percentage of writers portray characters as archetypes because of thematic concerns. This often renders characterization poor in the sense that the reader is able to predict the outcome of events through the actions of the characters. However, Zulu (1999:3) argues that with the inceptor of democracy in South Africa in 1994, African Languages literature was liberated as well from several constraints, and reveals some signs of maturing. This study is thus conducted to confirm or refute Zulu's (1999) claim that there are signs of improvement in the way writers portray characters. The study concentrates of four selected Xhosa novels published in the 1990s. The novels are selected on the criteria that they have won literary prizes and are written by prolific writers. It is found that in all four novels, Iqlina lomtshato, Kazi Ndenzeni na?, Koda Kube Nni na? and Ukhozi Olumaphiko the novelists have succeededin creating realistic, live, dynamic, complex and multidimensional characters. The change and development of characters are influenced by environmental change as a result of social, political and economic factors. However, the study also shows that some events in Ukhozi Olumphiko are implausible.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die voorstelling van karakters in vier Xhosa novellas in die 1990s. Die hoofdoelstelling is om te bepaal of daar 'n verbetering in kwaliteit is in die Xhosa novellas in die negentiger jare. Hierdie ondersoek word gedoen in die lig van voorafgaande studies soos Jafte (1978, 1996); Satyo (1978); Sirayi (1989) and Dlali (1992) wat bevind dat 'n groot aantal skrywers, karakters in Xhosa novellas as stereoptipes voorstelop grond van die "telematiese" oorwegings at hulle het. Dit het dikwels die gevolg dat karakterisering swak is in die sin dat die leser die uiteinde van gebeurtenisse kan voorspel deur die handelinge van die karakters. Zulu (1999:3) argumenteer egter dat met die verkryging van demokrasie in Suid Afrika, is die letterkunde van die Afrikatale ook bevry, en dit vertoon tekens dat die literêre wasdom bereik. Hierdie studie word dus onderneem om Zulu (1999) se aanspraak te ondersteun of te weerlê dat daar tekens van verbetering is in die wyse waarop skrywers karakters voorstel. Die studie konsentreer op vier geselekteerde Xhosa novelles wat in die 1990s gepubliseer is. Die novelles is geselekteer volgens kriteria dat hulle literêre pryse gewen het en deur erkende skrywers geskryf is. Daar word bevind in die studie dat die skrywers in al vier die novelles, Iqlina lomtshato, Kazi Ndenzeni na?, Koda Kube Nni na? en Ukhozi Olumaphiko suksesvol was in die skep van realistiese, lewendige, ekonomiese komplekse en multi-dimensionele karakters. Die verandering en ontwikkeling van karakters word beïnvloed deur omgewingsverandering, sowel as deur sosiale, politieke en ekonomiese faktore. Dit word egter bevind dat sommige handelinge in die novelle Ukhozi Olumaphiko ongeloofwaardig is.
INTSHWANKATHELO ISIXHOSA: Lo msebenzi uphonononga ukuvezwa kwabalinganiswa kwiinoveli zesiXhosa ezine ezibhalwe ukususela kumnyaka ka-1990 ukuya ku-1999. Injongo yalo msebenzi kukuqwalasela ukuba ikho kusini na impucuko kwindlela abazotywa ngayo abalinganiswa kwezi noveli zesiXhosa zibhalwe ngomnyaka ka-1990 ukubheka phambili. Oku kwenziwa phantsi koluvo lokuba izifundo zamandulo ezimalunga nokuzotywa kwabalinganiswa ngokubhalwa nguJafta (1978;1996), uSatyo (1978) uSirayi (1989) noDlali (1992) zibonakalisa ukuba uninzi Iwababhali luveza abalinganiswa njengemizekelo esisiseko ukuzama ukubanxulumanisa nomxholo wenoveli leyo. Oku ke kubeka ukuzotywa kwabalinganiswa kwizinga eliphantsi nanjengoko umfundi aye akwazi lula ukuthelekelela iziphumo zezehlo ngokujonga iintshukumo ezi zabalinganiswa. Ukanti ke, uZulu (1999:3) uveza ukuba ukususela mhla kwamiselwa ulawulo lukawonkewonke okanye inkululeko eMzantsi Afrika ngomnyaka ka-1994, uncwadi IweeLwimi zaseAfrika Iwaye Iwakhululeka nalo, Iwaze Iwabonakalisa iimpawu zokuvuthwa. Lo msebenzi ke ujolise ekuqinisekiseni okanye ekuphikiseni ingcamango kaZulu (1999) yokuba kukho iimpawu ezibonakalisa ukuphuhla kwindlela ababhali abaveza ngayo abalinganiswa. Lo msebenzi ke uza kuqwalasela kwiinoveli zesiXhosa ezine ezikhethiweyo nezishicilelwe kwisithuba sika-1990 ukubheka phambili. Ezi noveli zikhethwe phantsi komgomo wokuba ziphumelele amabhaso oncwadi yaye zibhalwe ngoomakhwekhwetha bababhali abavunyiweyo. Kuye kwafunyaniswa into yokuba kwezi noveli zone, Iqhina lomtshato, Kazi Ndenzeni na?, Koda Kube Nini na?, kunye noKhozi Olumaphiko ababhali beenoveli baphumelele ekwakheni abalinganiswa ababonisa izinto ngobunjalo bazo, abaphilayo, abanentshukumo, abantsonkothileyo nabambaxa. Utshintsho nokuphuhla kwabalinganiswa lubangelwa kukutshintsha kweendawo abahlala kuzo ngokudalwa ziimeko zokuhlala, ezopolitiko, nezoqoqosho. Ukanti ke, ezinye zezehlo kuKhozi Olumaphiko aziqondakali ngokugqibeleleyo.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe patriarchal order is present in many novels written from the nineteenth century, in which there is the frequent representation of the white man in prominent paper and the woman in inferior paper, of clear or veiled submission. These works include A mão e a luva (1874), Helena (1876) and Iaiá Garcia (1878), written by Machado de Assis. This work focuses on these three novels to analyze the presence of patriarchal marks in characters that belong to the bourgeois layers of society, especially the female figures, who, according to the perspective adopted here, often appear in these narratives as plaintiffs to a place nearby to the nucleus, represented by families that hold power that enjoy consideration and prestige in the society of that time. In order to carry out this analysis, besides other researchers, the theories of Roberto Reis (1987) were used to deal with the patriarchal society, the metaphors related to the "home", "street" and "other world" spatiality of Roberto DaMatta (1997a, 1997b), as well as studies about Machado’s work of Therezinha Mucci Xavier (2005), Roberto Schwarz (2012) and Valdeci Rezende Borges (2007).

Introduction -- Fantastic metamorphosis as childhood 'otherness' -- The metamorphic growth of wings : deviant development and adolescent hybridity -- Tenors of maturation: developing powers and changing identities -- Changing representations of werewolves: ideologies of racial and ethnic otherness -- The desire for transcendence: jouissance in selkie narratives -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Appendix: "The great Silkie of Sule Skerry": three versions.
My central thesis is that fantastic motifs work on a metaphorical level to encapsulate and express ideologies that have frequently been naturalised as 'truths'. I develop a theory of motif metaphors in order to examine the ideologies generated by the fantastic motif of metamorphosis in a range of contemporary children's and young adult fantasy texts. Although fantastic metamorphosis is an exceptionally prevalent and powerful motif in children's and young adult fantasy literature, symbolising important ideas about change and otherness in relation to childhood, adolescence, and maturation, and conveying important ideologies about the world in which we live, it has been little analysed in children's literature criticism. The detailed analyses of particular metamorphosis motif metaphors in this study expand and refine our academic understanding of the metamorphosis figure and consequently provide insight into the underlying principles and particular forms of a variety of significant ideologies.
By examining several principal metamorphosis motif metaphors I investigate how a number of specific cultural beliefs are constructed and represented in contemporary children's and young adult fantasy literature. I particularly focus upon metamorphosis as a metaphor for childhood otherness; adolescent hybridity and deviant development; maturation as a process of self-change and physical empowerment; racial and ethnic difference and otherness; and desire and jouissance. I apply a range of pertinent cultural theories to explore these motif metaphors fully, drawing on the interpretive frameworks most appropriate to the concepts under consideration. I thus employ general psychoanalytic theories of embodiment, development, language, subjectivity, projection, and abjection; poststructuralist, social constructionist, and sociological theories; and wide-ranging literary theories, philosophical theories, gender and feminist theories, race and ethnicity theories, developmental theories, and theories of fantasy and animality. The use of such theories allows for incisive explorations of the explicit and implicit ideologies metaphorically conveyed by the motif of metamorphosis in different fantasy texts.
In this study, I present a number of specific analyses that enhance our knowledge of the motif of fantastic metamorphosis and of significant cultural ideologies. In doing so, I provide a model for a new and precise approach to the analysis of fantasy literature.

The present research aims at developing a study on the similarities between the character Dona Redonda, in the telenovela Saramandaia (1976/original version and 2013/remake) by Dias Gomes, and the character Bárbara, in the short story Bárbara (1947) by Murilo Rubião, which can be understood as a form of retextualization. The concept of retextualization refers to a type of translation process that emphasizes the creation of a new text from a previous one, bringing the past back to present while promoting future possibilities for the creation of new texts (PLAZA, 2008). Retextualization implies that all forms of text are intersections of different textual bodies, that is, the so-called rewritings or translations which will always establish connections with previous texts. The analysis focuses on identifying and reflecting upon the points that intertwine such works in terms of similarity, by observing the relationship between them, remarkably perceived through the concept of the magical realism, genre shared by both works. This study also intends to reveal in which sense the character Bárbara, by Murilo Rubião, bears similarities to Dona Redonda, in the fictional world of Saramandaia
Este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver um estudo sobre as aproximações entre a personagem Dona Redonda da obra Saramandaia (1976/original e 2013/refilmagem), de Dias Gomes, como uma forma de retextualização da personagem Bárbara do conto Bárbara (1947), do autor Murilo Rubião. O conceito de retextualização refere-se a um tipo de processo tradutório cuja ênfase é a criação de um novo texto a partir de um texto prévio, o qual traz o passado para o presente, ao mesmo tempo em que lança possibilidades futuras para construção de novos textos (PLAZA, 2008). A retextualização implica que todas as formas de texto são intersecções de outras faces textuais, isto é, são traduções ou reescritas que dialogam entre si. Dessa forma, a análise proposta pretende identificar e traçar uma reflexão a respeito de questões que unem essas obras por similaridade, observando a relação entre elas expressa principalmente por meio do realismo maravilhoso, gênero que ambas as obras partilham. Este estudo se propõe a estudar de que forma a personagem Bárbara, de Murilo Rubião, se aproxima da personagem Dona Redonda, no mundo ficcional de Saramandaia

The central idea of this dissertation is that a significant portion of the explanation of permanence of Jeca Tatu as an integral part of the cultural history of Brazil is in one of its representations, the one contained in the advertising booklet Jeca Tatuzinho. Created by Monteiro Lobato, sponsored by Instituto Medicamenta Fontoura, published in 35 different editions between 1926 and 1973, as well as later versions on the comic format, Jeca Tatu, properly sanitized, became the first and most important advertising character created in Brazil. In the fleeting advertising time, Jeca Tatuzinho is a milestone because it resisted time and the temporary kept following as a permanent reference. His career is chronicled in details considering: (1) the objective circumstances that define the process for approval and publication of advertisement parts; (2) the evolution from the point of view of Lobato on his hillbilly, originally conceived as a “bush burner”; (3) the implications of the involvement of the writer with the interests of sanitarians / hygienists / eugenists Artur Neiva, Belisário Pena e Renato Khel; (4) the profiles of Lobato as a publicist and adman; (5) the relation between Jeca Tatu from Jeca Tatuzinho’s publications and the different representations of Jeca that came before and coexisted with him – on popular poetry, music, caricature and films; (6) the relationship between Monteiro Lobato and Candido Fontoura; (7) the relations that Roger Chartier established between the “materiality of text and textuality of the object”, that implicated on the analysis of the characteristics as dimensions, number of pages, paper quality, color applications and graphic nicety; (8) the possibilities of diversification of public established by a language with ability to speak simultaneously with children, with adults treated as children and adults through the children; (9) the confrontation among the booklets and its two book versions – 1924 and 1930; (10) the comparison among the different versions of the booklets as a result of the changes of illustrators, the plot change in 1940, the inclusion of brands to be advertised, the reduction of pages, the adaptation of the booklet for spelling booklets and comics formats; (11) the checking of dates and circulation data with a projection of a doable number of impressions; (12) the results obtained by the advertiser; (13) the possible “modes of reading” by Jeca Tatuzinho in its different periods in view of its content at the same time fun and instructive; (14) the adjustment and maladjustment among ways to read the Jeca recomposed by Lobato and the hillbilly imagery
A ideia central desta dissertação é a de que parcela significativa da explicação da permanência do Jeca Tatu como parte integrante a história cultural do Brasil está em uma de suas representações, a contida no folheto publicitário Jeca Tatuzinho. Criado por Monteiro Lobato, patrocinado pelo Instituto Medicamenta Fontoura, publicado em 35 diferentes edições entre os anos de 1926 e 1973, além de versões posteriores no formato quadrinhos, Jeca Tatu, devidamente higienizado, se transformou no primeiro e mais importante personagem publicitário criado no Brasil. No tempo fugaz da propaganda, Jeca Tatuzinho é um marco porque resistiu ao tempo e o temporário seguiu como uma referência permanente. A sua trajetória é narrada em detalhes considerando: (1) as circunstâncias objetivas que definem o processo de aprovação e veiculação de peças publicitárias; (2) a evolução do ponto de vista de Lobato sobre o seu caboclo, originalmente concebido como “queimador de mato”; (3) as implicações do envolvimento do escritor com os interesses dos sanitaristas/ higienistas/ eugenistas Artur Neiva, Belisario Pena e Renato Khel; (4) os perfis do Lobato publicista e publicitário; (5) a relação entre o Jeca Tatu de Jeca Tatuzinho e as diferentes representações do Jeca que o antecederam e com ele conviveram – na poesia popular, na música, na caricatura e no cinema; (6) o relacionamento entre Monteiro Lobato e Candido Fontoura; (7) as relações que Roger Chartier estabeleceu entre a “materialidade do texto e a textualidade do objeto”, o que implicou na análise das de características como dimensões, número de páginas, qualidade do papel, aplicação de cores e esmero gráfico; (8) as possibilidades de diversificação de público estabelecidas por uma linguagem com capacidade de falar, simultaneamente, com as crianças, com os adultos tratados como crianças e com os adultos através das crianças; (9) o confronto entre o folheto e suas duas versões em livro – 1924 e 1930; (10) a comparação entre as diferentes edições do folheto em decorrência das mudanças de ilustradores, da revisão do enredo de 1940, de inclusão de marcas a serem anunciadas, da redução do número de páginas, da adaptação do folheto para os formatos cartilha e quadrinhos; (11) a checagem de datas e de dados de circulação com projeção de um número de tiragem factível; (12) os resultados alcançados pelo anunciante; (13) os possíveis “modos de leitura” de Jeca Tatuzinho nos seus diferentes períodos tendo em vista seu conteúdo ao mesmo tempo divertido e instrutivo; (14) o ajuste e desajuste entre as maneiras de ler o Jeca recomposto por Lobato e o Jeca do imaginário caipira
